DESCRIPTION OF THE sCAFFOLl

How the Doomed are Launched Into
Eternity.
Cook COUNTY JAIL, CHICAGO, NoVem-
Der 11.-During the long hours OF the
night the only newspaper men who were
admitted 10 the inner precincts Of the
Jail were the representatives OF the ASso-
ciated Press. They had quarters in what
is known as the lawyers cage, and were
within ten feet Of the Anarchists. AT four
o'clock one Of them made q tour of the
lower corridor where Spies, Parsons,
Fischer and Engel, were confined. In
each cell were two stulWaTt guards, who
stood watch over the Anarchists. The
former chatted in low terms and
WHISPERED Jokes among themselves to while
away the lime. But the talk aud whis-
pered Jokes were all lost on the prisoners.
Each one was in the heaviest Of slumbers
Spies lay on one side, his head on his arm,
and slept IS peacefully as q babe. Fischer
had turned over on his back and the con-
sentence was that he frequently let out II
snore that reported in startling maneer
| tbrought the silent COZ idOrs of the building
Eugle lay motionless as did Parson, except
that nj times the latter started
nneasiIy as if dreams were
cour.ing through his mind, then at
intervals the silence was broken by tie
stealthy walk Of an armed guard, who
made the rounds of The lower corridor to
see that all was we'll. The only other dis
turbing element was the mewing Of the
iail cat, who kept up the noise so persist
emily that a deputy bore down on, cap
tured and removed her to the basement
where her cries could not be heard. All
the COMMON prisoners, to the number of
about go, were lett in their cells. The
practice at hangiugs in Chicago is to not
remove them until a few hours before the
execution takes place. Sheriff MatsOn de-
cided to follow the old rule. At the ap-
pointed time all of those located in the
tiers of cells facing north and which COM
mand a partial view of the scaffold are
marched into the tiers facing south, where
not q glimpse Of the execution can be had.
The gsIlows for the present hanging are To-
Gated in the extreme, or the east corner OF
the cell room. An inspection was made Of
them during the night by the Associated
Press representative. They are the largest
ever erected in Cook county. They were
originally built for the ~swingoff of the
three Italians who killed a fellow country
man and shipped his remains in a trunk
to Pittsbmg. At the time the
murderers were hung the trap wa
made to comfortably hold three meu
but to accommodate the Anarchists it has
been enlarged to the extent Of two feet
and a half in width. To reach the scat.
fold the men to be executed are escorted
from the jail office through the lower cor
ridor of the cell room to an iron stairway
which leads to the second tier. This is 8

METROPOLITAN LIFE INSUR.
ANCE co.

A Flourishing and Popular Life In
surance Cum pany-The Good Work
it is Doing in Toledo.
One of the most deservedly popular
institutions of to-day in Toledo is the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
of New York. Although there are at
least a score or more of different benev-
olent societies and insurance companies
operating in the city, yet the AIetropol-
itan stands head and shoulders above
all competitors. This was the first
company in America to adopt the In
dustrial System of life insurance, where
by the premiums of the insured are paid
weekly, thus enabling persons of mod
crate means who otherwise would be
debarred from it, to indulge in the lux.
ury of life insurance policy. The
company was first organized in 1866,
and so popular has it proved and so
widespread and benefcent have been
its results, that it 10 day is operating in
% different States, doing n business ag-
gregating six millions annually. BY the
admirable system adopted by this COM
pauy, persons who otherwise would he
unable to carry insurance on their lives,
are enabled, at mere nominal cost, to
make provision for the death of any
